If you are following PF tek that means jars with metal lids..........no these cannot be microwaved, for obvious reasons.

Well, why did it run out of water?
Old ones oftentimes will have cracked looking gaskets, corroded contacts on the rocker and other things which will allow too much steam to escape.
I had to work with one of those recently and so I used twice the recommended water and watched it closely.

I know carmelized shit slows colonization, and you cant "add water" or else it will not be sterile anymore, plus it will be wet in spots and prone to contamination anyway I'd imagine.
Better would be to go yard sailing and buy dear ole' dad a new cooker, clean the jars out, and start over I'd say.

id start over, why risk it? Sure you might get one or two of those jars to colonize, but, most likely you'll end up with contams or stalled jar due to lack of water. Losing a few hrs is so much easier then losing 2 weeks + spores. GL man!

yeah once the thing starts rocking turning it down to around medium low is usually sufficient. Anything more and you get too much water loss.

I'll just give my pcooker to him (at my moms house) I'm thinking about doing the pf oven steralization. Is the oven any good or should I wait till I go back to my moms house?

I was using a propane tank and highly dont recommend using it unless it has a good way of regulating it besides going by ear.

I read in another thread that the oven will dry out the jars, plus hot air is not nearly as good of a heat transfer as steam. Get the cooker and re-do it right is my advice.

oven tek is not for sterlization of PF jars. You can do it with casing layer, or you can use it when you go to inoculate your jars. If you're stuck without a pc just steam the jars. GL on your next try man

no h202 in the LC it will kill the spores before they germinate. as for its viability, i think i read something along the lines of 2 weeks. But dont hold me to that

With the pf tek all it takes it boiling the jars for one hour if somebody hasn't said that already.
